As seasoned sound designers with diverse insights to share from having worked on sound for games, videos, installation art and for short animated films - the duo will be taking us through workflows for some of the work they've done for VR art in the MOR.

addedAbout Millie WissarWhile our speakers hope to take us through new sound tools, workflows, software etc. they have generously offered to open up to answering questions during the event - about how to effectively communicate with sound designers when designing sound for VR art. The talk promises to be a neat dissection of the different factors that make up spatial sound. The talk will be especially helpful for VR artists looking to better understand how to approach incorporating sound into their artwork.
